KickAss Radio with Kristi Winger-Szudlo welcomes Philita Wheeler, Current National Level Figure Competitor and former WNBF Pro, to talk about how to be great at fitness while having a career, family and social life. Listen in as she shares how to be happier and achieve a balance among all aspects of our lives.

Philita Wheeler is a professional accountant, fitness buff, and passionate about people. She spends 12 hours a day in her career of choice, accounting. It means long countless hours of sitting in front of a computer, and many office food temptations. On top of her career, she found fitness. It was in the sport of running at first, but that was no longer challenging to her and since she had just passed her CPA exams, she needed a next in life. She met her match with iron and chalk in the gym. It was by first seeing Kiana Tom on ESPN where she saw how beautiful women with muscles could be. It’s been her quest for the past three years to develop her physique and turn it into something others could be inspired by. At her first show, she had a little girl that came up to her and said, “I want to be just like you one day” and it broke her heart. She was overweight and Philita just wanted to reach out and help her. She doesn’t compete in figure shows, just to look good. She does it to help motivate and inspire others to push themselves beyond what they think is possible and to encourage others to give it their 110% every day. She only looks the way she does because of the result of constantly pushing herself to go harder and heavier and push her limits. It’s a direct reaction to her determination.
